The deal is Andre Roberson money (minus the airball FTs)
Dante Exum re-signed
- Thread starter oneye
- Start date
He has played 50% of games since being in the NBA. But he is healthy now so there is no reason to assume a future of injury more than another player.
Statistically he was pretty good in his minutes this year. So its not a fact.

No options, huh? Whelp, we screwed that one up. The Favors deal I get because we can get out of it or he plays into it. It's essentially a one year gamble with no real risk.
Exum's contract was a straight over pay in this market. The Jazz are gambling on future potential here. I get that and doing a mulligan contract to see if he pans out. But Dante has yet to really be healthy since his rookie season. He has all the tools, but he must out it together. Or else we just replaced Burks' deal with Exum's. X has that D part of 3D down. But that 3 must develop.

At $11M/yr I wonder how often we see Royce play in front of Dante going forward... Or is it finally time to take that leash off?
I hope your right.
First, I applaud you for being an ex-Chargers fan as well. San Diego native here, **** Spanos.
Second, I think this extension gives the team max flexibility at the PG spot.
If Rubio kills it next year, and is firmly the starting PG, I don't think Dante's deal wouldn't preclude him from re-signing.
If Dante gets cranky about this and has a strong season, he would be a very tradeable young player on a great contract.
If Rubio has a mediocre year, and Dante kills it, maybe we let Rubio walk comfortable knowing we have a great starting PG with two years left on a team-friendly deal.
Oh my......some of you are acting like this is some huge contract. IT IS NOT. The matching value wasn't going to be that much lower, he has too much upside, and is barely older than Donovan. Jazz will have Burks contract coming off, can offload Favors, Ingles contract goes down year after year, hopefully this one does too. This should not preclude the Jazz from resigning Rubio.

He hasn't played a full season since his rookie year.
But I'm with Grimmetal on this. If this cost us Rubio, if he is really the slick Rick we had at the end of last season, I'm leading the riot.

Worth overpaying in order to retain him imo as I still view him as a key piece. He obviously hasn't developed as quickly as originally hoped due to injuries but the tools are def still there & his mental approach/confidence seems to have improved greatly since entering the league.
Imo it's only a matter of time & health before he becomes a starting caliber player. And he has the potential to be much more imo. Glad we were able to keep him at a reasonable price, excited to watch him continue to develop.

I thought he should get $28M or $29M over 3 years. This isn't a big deal.
If Exum pans out, he'll be a great value and a good asset to keep. The Jazz now have a lot of quality depth and flexibility to improve the roster through trades or free agency.
Exum and Mitchell could still end up being our best backcourt of the future, offensively and defensively.

You'd also lead the riot if they let him leave and he panned out good for someone else I'm sure. This should not affect signing Rubio. It's a risk and reward contract for sure......but the reward could be very good if hes healthy.
